"Los Angeles Documentary and the Production of Public History, 1958-1977 explores
how documentarians working between the election of John F. Kennedy and the Bicentennial
created conflicting visions of the recent and more distant American past. Drawing
on a wide range of primary documents, Joshua Glick analyzes the films of Hollywood
documentarians such as David Wolper and Mel Stuart, along with lesser-known independents
and activists such as Kent Mackenzie, Lynne Littman, and Jesús Salvador Treviño.
While the former group reinvigorated a Cold War cultural liberalism, the latter group
advocated for social justice in a city plagued by severe class stratification and
racial segregation. Glick examines how mainstream and alternative filmmakers turned
to the archives, civic institutions, and production facilities of Los Angeles in order
to both change popular understandings of the city and shape the social consciousness
of the nation"--Provided by publisher
